Have female, need male

[David M]

Some months ago I lost my male Cypho purpurascens , Oblique-lined dottyback. Commonly sold as McCulloch's dottyback. Aparantly a pretty rare fish and it will be expensive. I'm not exactly desperate for one but if any of you happen to come across a source I'd certainly entertain the idea. Maybe some online vendor of rare fish you know of? TIA, - D

TMC is in UK but Marine Center is in the US ! Any of them are offering C. purpurescens though. Neither do liveaquaria.com

My mistake, I thought they were one and the same

Like I said it's not a major "must have" for me but since this female has done so well it would fun to try with another male. I'm sure they were spawning when I had him, he would vanish into the rock for 4 days at a time on a regular cycle.

Hi David,
Just passed by this on liveaquaria

Have no idea if it is male or female but aren´t they protogynous ?

Note to self: Move to Oz.

aomont, that is the female, male is a striking red color. I'm not sure about the possibility of sex change, my female has been alone for 6 months or so and still the same.
